Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A communication apparatus capable of executing short distance wireless communication, the apparatus comprising: a first interface used when carrying out communication at a higher speed than the short distance wireless communication; a second interface used when carrying out communication at a higher speed than the short distance wireless communication; a receiving unit that receives a selection instruction for an interface to be activated; a writing unit that writes network information corresponding to the interface, of the first and second interfaces, that has been activated by the selection instruction into short distance wireless communication information transmitted through the short distance wireless communication; and a transmitting unit that transmits the short distance wireless communication information to a communication partner apparatus through the short distance wireless communication, wherein in the case where an inactive interface has been activated by the selection instruction, the writing unit overwrites the network information written into the short distance wireless communication information with network information corresponding to the activated interface.
2. The communication apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first interface is used for a wireless LAN and the second interface is used for a wired LAN.
3. The communication apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising: a printing unit for printing an image onto paper.
4. A control method for a communication apparatus including a first interface used when carrying out communication at a higher speed than short distance wireless communication and a second interface used when carrying out communication at a higher speed than the short distance wireless communication, the method comprising: receiving a selection instruction for an interface to be activated; writing network information corresponding to the interface, of the first and second interfaces, that has been activated by the selection instruction into short distance wireless communication information transmitted through the short distance wireless communication; and transmitting the short distance wireless communication information to a communication partner apparatus through the short distance wireless communication, wherein in the case where an inactive interface has been activated by the selection instruction, the network information corresponding to the activated interface is written into the short distance wireless communication information.
5. The control method according to claim 4 , wherein the first interface is used for a wireless LAN and the second interface is used for a wired LAN.
6. The control method according to claim 4 , further comprising: printing an image onto paper.
7. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program causing a computer to execute a control method for a communication apparatus including a first interface used when carrying out communication at a higher speed than short distance wireless communication and a second interface used when carrying out communication at a higher speed than the short distance wireless communication, the method comprising: receiving a selection instruction for an interface to be activated; writing network information corresponding to the interface, of the first and second interfaces, that has been activated by the selection instruction into short distance wireless communication information transmitted through the short distance wireless communication; and transmitting the short distance wireless communication information to a communication partner apparatus through the short distance wireless communication, wherein in the case where an inactive interface has been activated by the selection instruction, the network information corresponding to the activated interface is written into the short distance wireless communication information.
8. The storage medium according to claim 7 , wherein the first interface is used for a wireless LAN and the second interface is used for a wired LAN.
9. The storage medium according to claim 7 , wherein the method further comprises printing an image onto paper.
